Yes, it's from the U.S. so it must be evil. Maybe it never occurred to you that the bulk of Slim's customers are in the U.S. and that native Pandora support gives Slim a leg up on the competition rather than being another "me too" who adds a plugin for something like last.FM? Slim is getting a lot of competition from Roku in the retail channel and this is really an excellent way to have something out there that differentiates them from the competition. And I hardly see where you get the DATA that indicates that this is going to consume all Slim Devices efforts over a 6 month period of time. Newbie questions? If you want to sell more players to more people than there are going to be more newbies, in the business world that's referred to as having a "successful product". Personally I'm rather puzzled with why (for some people) Slim needs to remain this niche player that only the cool kids know about. -- jmpage2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jmpage2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20894 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
